I believe the answer is the first amendment.
The first amendment of United States both guaranteed the freeodom of speech and prohibit the establishment in making any regulations that only benefiit a ceratin religion.
The banning of evolution subject in school both violate the right to freedom of speech for the children and the free religion clause of the Students.
